Sore Feet.

[Melanie Martin]

Hello, I'm new to this.
We've had two little piggies for a year now. They're indoors and have a big cage, with sawdust and hay. I've just bathed and groomed them and noticed that Rose has sore back feet. I had a rat when I was a teenager and she had the same thing, the vet said it was due to the saw dust. Can anyone suggest using something else?
Thanks,
Mel

It would be worth considering changing from sawdust to something different - there are different types for you to consider
vetbed, fleece, megazorb

Hi! Jess has aready given you the link to our alternative beddings overview. There is a constant stream of new products, so it may be worth enquiring in our housing section.

For the ongoing feet care after the healing, you could use feet ointment product from Gorgeous Guineas.
